Arresting Knowledge is a touring interactive docu-series designed to inspire critical thinking about media.

The mission of Arresting Knowledge is to support a national conversation around media literacy that leads to incremental shifts in thinking and behavior. We’re committed to making complex information accessible to people of all education levels. There’s lots of talk about media (the messages that originate via news, advertising, entertainment and social) and its complexity. We’re committed to decoding that complexity as a community. If certain trends and experiences with media consumption have had negative effects on us, we’re going to identify those experiences and examine specific literacy skills to mitigate confusion and stress. This is life-long learning at its best – in collaboration, in community.
